Judy Chamberlain! The name means incomparable entertainment. A modern-day Duke Ellington of a bandleader — the excitement of singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima and Frank Sinatra… with overtones of Bobby Darin, Aretha Franklin, Nat King Cole and even Gloria Gaynor and Celine Dion in the mix… and that’s just for starters… but it’s all pure Judy.

“She is absolutely amazing,” says a wedding photographer who works with her often. “We’ve heard plenty of bands at weddings, but we’ve never heard one like hers or seen anyone pack a dance floor the way she does."

Judy Chamberlain Orchestras & Entertainment
Judy Chamberlain and the Swing Deluxe Band

Swing, Jazz standards, Blues, R&B, Funk, Latin, Motown & Disco. Tight, professional 5-7 piece band, sounds bigger & can expand.  Recently featured in Playboy Jazz Festival. Chamberlain has been named "one of the top jazz singers of all time." Great selection of music includes hip standards of Gershwin, Cole Porter, Sinatra, Ella & Louis, Nat King Cole, Ellington & Basie.  Spot-on dance tempos, fun & classy. First Dance "orchestration," amazing ceremonies, all customized & 
personalized. Flawless announcing. Superb references. We travel anywhere. 

Chamberlain can provide a string quartet, harpist or band of any size for ceremonies and receptions. She is a genius at orchestrating a meaningful musical score that is "like a scene from a movie," according to those who have thrilled to some of her creative concepts. Clients enthuse that she and her band know when to be "somewhat invisible," offering soft, soothing and elegant background music. And they know when to "punch it up" for great dancing. "We call it 'evolved' swing," says Chamberlain, "which embodies the very essence of exuberant jazz music that utilizes the art of spontaneity and the skill of the virtuoso soloist."

"She could make Aretha Franklin jealous," says the catering director of a prestigious Los Angeles private club. "She is very talented. What I like most about Judy is how she plays to a crowd. Whether she's playing to 10 or 1000, she can completely capture an audience. Her performance is always wonderful."

Chamberlain is not a booking agent. She is out in front of the band, so the ideas and details she works out with brides and grooms are always executed perfectly. Her treasured musicians are the most respected studio and touring pros on the West Coast. "You've seen them on television with Diana Krall," says Judy, "and at The Hollywood Bowl with Tony Bennett or Natalie Cole."

She is a superb listener, clients agree. "Judy is exceptional in the planning stages of an event," says a wedding coordinator who has worked with her for years. She has great empathy and devotes herself to giving people exactly what they want."

With a repertoire that numbers thousands of songs and spans all the decades of American music, on-the-spot requests are child's play for Judy.
